Review of Water (DVD)

Water, Water, Everywhere

Advantages: Psychologically scary, strong performances from key cast members.
Disadvantages: Too many characters are introduced, the ending is a little silly.

...Walter Salles 2005 film 'Dark Water' is dark and mysterious, a truly chilling remake of Hideo Nakata's Japanese horror film which was originally released in 2002. It's an interesting concept that Walter Salles should take on a film of this sort, he'd previously had success with the film 'The Motorcycle Diaries' but 'Dark Water' is really something far different than this. What's more is that this is a major American remake and yet Walter Salles himself is Brazilian. Although this was not a predictable film for Walter Salles to have taken on, what I will say is that he has done an excellent job here and successfully directed a brilliant horror film. In the 2000s there has been quite a trend for remaking popular Japanese horror films. 'The Ring' films were remade, as too was the 'Ju-on' series, it's only right then that 'Dark Water...

Cool Water

Advantages: Great long lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: can be a little expensive

...Cool Waters is a really popular fragrance which has been on the market since 1996. Whenever the name "Cool Water" is mentioned just about everyone knows exactly which perfume you are talking about and most people have either bought it or smelled it before. I have been buying Davidoff Cool Water for about 6 or 7 years now and use it quite reguarly because of its exotic long lasting scent. I wouldn't go as far as saying its my favourite perfume because I have well over 100 bottles of perfume and chosing a favourite would be too hard because I love the smell of all my perfumes. But out of all my perfumes this is the one which I use the most, usually about 4 or 5 times a week. Whenever I look the bottle of Cool Water it reminds me of sitting at the beach looking at the waves in the sea. I personally think that the name of the perfume...

Review of Haws Practican Watering Can

Come On In, the Water's Fine

Advantages: Distinctive characters
Disadvantages: Some unneccessary diversions into the stories of minor characters

..."Blood Ties", the opening part of Pamela Freeman's "Castings" trilogy was a decent opening, but darted between characters with all the feeling of a chick lit style novel and, for me, interrupted the flow of things. The story was entertaining enough, but the writing style detracted a little from it and one of the main characters seemed pushed into the background. Following on directly from the events of that book, "Deep Water" starts with Bramble, Ash and Martine on their way to see Safred, the Well of Secrets; someone who hears the voices of the gods better than most people. As well as Bramble needing healing, they are seeking advice on how best to stop Saker from raising ghosts to take revenge on the invaders who took over the country a thousand years previously. Bramble's desire to do stop him gains extra motivation after the ghosts...

Review of Deep Water - Pamela Freeman

Water - the movie

Advantages: thought provoking, beautiful cinematography, good characterisation
Disadvantages: you will most definetly need a box of tissues at hand - total tear jerker

...For those who havent seen this film or are considering doing so - go out and get it now!! Can be found on amazon for around 10-12 pounds or find it online and watch it! This has got to be one of my all time favourite movies by Deepa Mehta - a very contraversial director from india who brought us films such as fire - about same sex love in a normal poor middle class family in india and the consequences of falling in love with the wrong person, as well a heavy critique of indian society. Indeed the film has been banned from india and there much effort to do the same to Water.. it seems the indian government are obsessed with hiding their not so pretty past too! Water is part of her "elements" series which started with Earth:1947 a love story, Fire and now Water. The better known bollywood stars include Johnny Abraham (such a hottie, i...

To Get Me to Drink Water...

Advantages: Better tasting water
Disadvantages: none

...You could say that I am very conscious of what food and drink I put into my body, especially since my heart attack a few years back. I then decided to do a lot of research on heart disease and discovered that prevention is better than cure for all disease and all it would take is a little discipline on my diet. I did not want to keep taking the heart drugs for the rest of my life and have since stopped, but this is not something I would recommend if you?ve had heart problems unless you talk to your doctor and heart specialists. When I came out of hospital, I came across a report on the Internet that said that we don?t drink enough water and this can lead to many diseases, and one of the diseases mentioned was heart disease. I found an article about a Japanese water cure that suggested drinking 3-4 large glasses of water first thing in...

Review of Brita Mistral Water Filter

This Water: Is Average!

Advantages: Looks Great, Citrus Flavour, Refreshing
Disadvantages: Simple Not Worth The Price

...***Review of Lemon and Lime Flavour*** In a vain attempt to reduce the amount of Diet Coke I drink, I have been on the lookout for some different water based drinks, which will ultimately be a little better for me. I was in the local shop next to work buying my usual afternoon Diet Coke when I spotted ?this water? I am a fan of lemon and citrus drinks and thought i?d give it a go, I paid for my drink (along with a diet coke....what? I?m not perfect!) and was surprised that this 420ml bottle cost £1.55. It had better be good I thought to myself. I know the shop by my work is usually pricey so I?d imagine else where you can pick this up for nearer £1.30. The reason i picked up this particular flavour, besides my preference for lemon drinks, was that it looked the most refreshing. The label is simple and shows a small blue cloud...

Review of This Water Real Fruit Quenchers

Save water and save money

Advantages: Easy to follow video
Disadvantages: You need a battery operated drill

...I like to think I am doing the best I can in terms of saving water and keeping my water bills down. I have a lovely little dual flush WC in my en-suite and also in the downstairs toilet but the one in the main bathroom is the older style and doesn't have the option of an economy flush. I have been using one of the water saving devices in the cistern and although that reduces water usage it isn't as good as the dual flush option. So for some time I have just been using the dual flushes and the toilet in the main bathroom is rarely used. Time to make some changes I thought - I looked at the cost of replacing the toilet but that was cost prohibitive especially as the suite is 'champagne' coloured and would be tricky to match so that might mean replacing the whole suite. I then looked at replacing the flushing mechanism but that was...
